Trilantic’s data protection responsibilities
“Personal data” is any information that relates to an identifiable natural person. Your name, address and contact details are all examples of your personal data, if they identify you.
The term “process” is a legal term and means any activity relating to personal data, including, by way of example, collection, storage, use, consultation and transmission.
Trilantic is a so-called "controller" of your personal data. This is also a legal term. This means that we make decisions about how and why we process your personal data and, because of this, we are responsible for making sure it is used in accordance with data protection laws.
In relation to personal data processed through your use of the Website and our Portal, the relevant controller will be Trilantic Europe S.à r.l. Any references in this Policy to processing of your personal data via the Website will be to the processing activities of Trilantic Europe S.à r.l.
